well i did see the one the other week - where you.....erm......picard becomes you

It was quite a good episode and i'm going to miss the second bit cause of work.
Still i think i still prefer the origonal series - i like the cheese and un-pc ness of it. In fact i like the new 'Enterprise' ones quite abit. I like the fact that our(human) tech is fairly cr*p and they get done over quite abit. Hmmm same reasons i like the early stages of CTP2. must be that 'british' backs to the wall thing?????

Shockwave I, the season finale or Shockwave II ????

While the first one's great - the second just didn't do it for me

Maquiladora · January 14, 2003, 17:15

I think i prefer Enterprise too, not that im a massive ST fan, but it draws me in more. The only one i cant stand is DS9 for some reason. Maybe its because theres less exploring and unknown element to it, kinda reminds me of that awful Babylon 5 series.

H Tower · January 14, 2003, 17:25

i just finished watching The Inner Light. it's one of my favorite episodes

mapfi · January 14, 2003, 17:30

the court has ruled on the austria poll, look here

and Locutus is already working on it as I can see.

child of Thor · January 14, 2003, 17:38

what's shockwave?(apart from a web graphic app), is it the name of the Enterprise series? If it is we have only just had the first one on tv over here(i've filled one video with it

).

mapfi · January 14, 2003, 17:41

it's the cliffhanger episode, the season finale of the first season of Enterprise

child of Thor · January 14, 2003, 17:52

ah yeah that one

scumbags leaving it like that, still it has been fun so far(and the vulcan is erm...interesting).

Hey! there's been a bloody coup! The high Lemur has been murdered!

Locutus · January 14, 2003, 18:43

I like TOS but it's nice that the newer shows actually have a budget

mapfi,
I always watch double episodes in one session, I absolutely hate it if I have to wait a week (they sometimes cut out scenes too, to allow room for a brief recap of part 1 at the start of part 2

).

But anyway, I decided to postpone watching until next week - why watch 2 great episodes on 1 day if you can spread it out over 2 weeks?

I'm way ahead of the Enterprise schedule anyway: at this rate I'll catch up with the US before the end of the season and it'll become increasingly difficult to find high quality downloads of the episodes I need...

H Tower,
Ah, yes, the Inner Light rocks

After BoBW best TNG episode ever... As far as the acting performance of Stewart goes, probably THE best...

Maq,
Did you only see the early seasons of DS9 or the late ones as well? They start out pretty crappy but the last few seasons (Dominion War) are fantastic. There's a great storyline running through the entire last 3-4 seasons with lots of epic battles, political intrigue and ethical dilemma's, and it gets better and better along the way. Although I guess that may just not be what you're looking for... But for me, in spite of the fact that the first 3 seasons contain some of the worst Star Trek ever, I think that overall DS9 is best ST series of all

But Enterprise isn't bad either, I'm thoroughly enjoying that too, although it could IMO have been made a lot better. Particularly the pace is too slow IMHO.

Anyway, a little more on topic: I think I may have screwed up the Austria poll

Because what I had to do with it was rather experimental, I decided to first make a back-up of the existing thread, but I seem to have somehow screwed up the back-up

I'm contacting Markos to see if it can still be rescued but I fear it may be gone forever

mapfi · January 14, 2003, 19:04

well, if the modeartor doesn't carry out the orders of the court it's time to impeach the moderator... - we've actually already been talking about that - the punishment will come swiftly ;-)
So who wants to be moderator?

What? You think Markos and Dan want to have a say in this? Shut up...

Locutus · January 14, 2003, 19:07

I carried out orders just fine, it's just that the server didn't agree...

Gonna impeach the server now?

Frozzy · January 14, 2003, 19:07

I'd like to take this to the court

Locutus · January 14, 2003, 19:09

Be my guest, could be fun

mapfi · January 14, 2003, 19:11

shut down the server

Frozzy · January 14, 2003, 19:14

I would like to take Locutus to court for not followeing the courts orders and horrendously bad humour while moderating the forum

H Tower · January 14, 2003, 19:33

bah, and i thought you were serious when you told me you were taking the case to court

Frozzy · January 14, 2003, 19:44

I was serious

H Tower · January 14, 2003, 19:56

so when do you file?

Locutus · January 14, 2003, 19:57

You are?

Turambar · January 14, 2003, 20:40

Lets impeach the server!

H Tower · January 14, 2003, 22:25

it seems locutus is in the clear

i have a question, as a judge, i'm expected to know the ins and outs of the constitution, should i be able to give legal advice and explain how i interpret the law for people, or must they bring it before the court in an official case before I can begin to talk about how the law works?

One of my favorite things to do with this game is take a situation and examine how the constitution would rule upon the case. however i'm not sure how ethical it is to offer legal advice to someone who is about to bring a case before the court, it's kind of a conflict of interest. what do people think about that?

Pedrunn · January 14, 2003, 22:51

Did you guys seem my story? It has to do with the idea of me wanting to attack the Austrians.

The last i need to hear is that Babylon 5 is worse than star trek. This is just a insane thought. Please why dont you just shoot me rather than torturing me with this kind of comment!?!

Frozzy · January 14, 2003, 22:53

They do it in real life, why not?

Yeah its the kind of stationary in space thing that doesnt appeal to my nature so much, or something... I never really kept track of which id seen so i dont know if the ones i saw were early episodes. Anyway im about to watch it now, apparently "Quark accepts a position working for an arms dealer". Isnt that every episode?

H Tower · January 15, 2003, 02:16

Kassiopeia (sp) is trying to get me to watch neon evangelion. has anyone ever seen it that can give me a description?

Locutus · January 15, 2003, 06:32

Warning to all: The 'Attitude towards Austria' thread is back but it's seriously f*cked up. Please don't post or vote in it, but only use it for reference. Any kind of action performed on the thread will completely and permanently ruin it... (There's a copy of the thread in the CtP2-General forum, please leave that one alone as well)

mapfi · January 15, 2003, 07:15

Well, too bad, it was an experiment after all - next time we'll just close it...
